This week, convicted felon and R&B singer Chris Brown was arrested for allegedly threatening to assault a woman in his home with a gun. As the legal drama unfolds — and without making judgments about guilt or innocence in this particular scenario — let’s look at the ways one probably shouldn’t refer to a celebrity who, at 27, has already been arrested a stunning number of times for incidents of violence, many of them against women.

Merriam-Webster’s defines “embattled” as “engaged in battle or conflict: surrounded by enemies; constantly criticized or attacked.” This is generally how Chris Brown describes himself. The reality is that in the past, he’s been arrested multiple times for violent things that he absolutely did do.
